Overall, I like this new approach to a holiday event. It's more fun and interactive then the normal way.

 

Being and impatient person, I admit I don't like having to wait a full day for the next clue, but I think I will survive. :P

 

 

agreed. but waiting in runescape...its not like there's nothing else you can do to pass time. :blink:

I don't mind it as a one off, it's hard because it's not convenient for you to log in on a day you're free (if you're busy which I'm not)

He told me to "push off and go do that last quest" - it's true i havent done within the light yet, but could it really be required to do all quests or did he say this to everyone?

 

/edit: (or might be a hint to next weeks quest requirement (like with wgs))

Holiday events never have quest requirements. Besides, it's f2p right?

He told me to go do quests aswell. I want and got my quest cape out of the bank, flashed it by him then went on to crafting again. :P

From the RSOF thread (http://[Use Quick Find Code]/l=0/[Please Use QuickFind Code]?42,43,341,59957404)

 

NOTE: You can do all of the clues on the final day if you wish. The event will be removed some time before the next update, so you should have more than just the initial 4 days to complete it. :)

Yup i'm fully aware of that, and It's not a problem with me, I have friends who can only play like a friday or whatever because of limited net access, so it's hard to come on that day and only do half an event (if that makes any sense)

 

I realise you can do it on the last day, some may not be able to make that

When (GMT) do they update the newsletter?

They haven't updated it yet? But it's already 27 November here! :o

They haven't updated it yet? But it's already 27 November here! :o

 

Let's riot!

I got up at 9 GMT today to do the second part, was a little disappointed :-(

Dear candidates,

 

I see youve made contact with our first link in the chain this is good. He should have given you a clue regarding whom youll need to see next. See if you can figure out what code items youll need in order to get him to speak to you, then go and speak to him with those items in your inventory. Cast your gaze on the text below:

 

 

For this clue, you will need to have a great deal of insight, for there are many things in this world that are not always as they appear. Can you rise to the challenge?

When baking a cake, theres a bucket of one ingredient youll need. Carry two of these.

It is a world full of mystery and magic, after all. You may need to cast your lines to the farthest reaches of Gielinor in order to obtain all you need.

Youd never catch Herring with empty line, so carry seven of this item to catch your contact.

Lumbridge, Draynor, Falador, Varrock, Edgeville, Al-Kharid; who knows where your adventures will take you? What treasures you will discover!

Ever heard of Roman numerals? Youll need to carry CCXXVII gold coins!

Im afraid Ive told you all I can you must now strike while the iron is hot! With wisdom comes the ability to read between the lines, so dont let us down!

The final item is a tool used in creating your dwellings and protecting your body from attack. Hit the nail on the head with four of these.

Good luck!

[spoiler=Guesses]2 Buckets of water

7 Fishing bait

However many coins

4 Hammers?

 

 

Just my 2 cents, haven't logged in to check though.

Yep I found that quite funny :P

Are you listening, lugnut? The fella you need retails pricey rocks

So thats what they ment with reading between the lines. #-o

Jagex 1 - Me 0

I guess CCXXVII is

227

Coins

Are you listening, lugnut? The fella you need retails pricey rocks in the west of the white city. Have a chat with him tomorrow while you're carrying the right items, and he'll oblige you further. Just check the newsletter tomorrow for help on that.

so its gotta be:

 

 

2 buckets of milk for the cake making

7 fishing bait or feathers for the herring one

227 gold coins (C = 100 so CC = 200, X = 10, so XX = 20, VII = 7)

The last one has me stumped though: the clues seem to be iron, nail, a tool, used in construction AND some sort of armour

 

 

227 coins

 

C= 100

C= 100

X= 10

X= 10

V= 5

I= 1

I= 1

26-Nov-2009 - Thanksgiving Turkeys and Community Event

 

A problem is brewing in Lumbridge this Thanksgiving. It seems that Phileas, the Lumbridge Sage, has happened upon some rather troubling manuscripts near his home and he needs your help to solve the mysteries they reveal.

 

Solving the clues will prove a tough challenge as you pit your wits against a mysterious clue-setter and his secret network of contacts. Regardless, if you can stay the course and solve the clues over the next four days, you’ll certainly have proven your detective skills.

 

For those with the steely determination and the requisite clue-solving abilities, a new item and emote will be yours for the claiming. Simply head over to the official Cryptic Clue Fest thread for your first clue and an explanation of what to expect, and then keep checking the thread each day of this holiday weekend (Thursday-Sunday) for subsequent clues.

 

That’s not all this Thanksgiving, though. For anyone who’s not yet helped him out, the Lumbridge cook’s brother has some turkey-related shenanigans he’d like some help with. Either talk to the cook’s brother in Lumbridge Castle’s kitchen or check out this Knowledge Base page for more information.

 

Good luck and happy Thanksgiving!

 

If you're after something else to do between solving clues, our friends over at FunOrb have recently launched a single-player campaign for the RuneScape inspired game Armies of Gielinor.
